“It had been hypothesized that widespread glacial erosion of continental interiors could be caused by the Snowball Earth ice,” said Kirkland, a professor in the School of Earth and Planetary ...

Erosion transports the fragments away ... Back up on the mountains, snow and ice build up into glaciers that weigh on the rocks beneath and slowly push them downhill under the force of gravity.

Glacier ice has great erosive power removing ... They get cut off so while erosion makes the main valley deeper and deeper, the smaller valley is left hanging higher up above the valley floor.

This year’s theme emphasizes Glacier Preservation, as they are vital for Earth’s water balance and ecosystems.

Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.
